“Where there are talkers and doers?

“I believe talk is what gets things done!

“Doers are the ones with the dollars to do whatever.

“The problem is not too many of those are willing to do or share their wealth to do anything!

“Most of the ‘talkers’ are the doers because that's all they can do.

“But if it weren't for the talkers, no one would know and the doers can sit back in their lazy chairs and just read about it.

“Be a doer if you have the bucks and talkers, don't stop talking.

“It's the only way people will know what's going on and who did what or will do whatever!

“Thank you Mike Abbott.

“Thank you, Cpl. Sheppard.

“Thank you, Mr. Robinson.

“Thank you to all the talkers!

“And speaking of talkers, there's a lady that I no longer am too fond of since she has put me through hell with our city for reporting ‘bad moves’ on her properties.

“But, being the person that I am, she should know to keep a closer eye on her workers, since most of their time is spent shooting the breeze with each other instead of doing/finishing what they started

“It's your dime, lady.

“Check it out! You know exactly who you are.’’

Gloria, while the sayers are still talking, the doers are already halfway done the work.

Warren Robinson is a doer, not a sayer.

He is a listener, then a doer.

Others would do well to take a page out of his book.

We went to a Hall of Fame induction at a high school on Saturday.

They’ve had a Hall of Fame for decades.

But it was controlled by men and they wouldn’t let in women.

That all changed when a graduate who played on the U.S. hockey team and the U.S. lacrosse team said to hell with this.

She organized the whole thing and threw in a flower for each inductee.

Last year, 100 showed up.

This year, 200 attended.

They inducted a whole bunch of deserving women on Saturday, including some posthumously.

They also inducted Mike Piazza and Andre Thornton.

And introduced them all before the football game on the field.

And gave each one a catered lunch and a crystal tower with a clock inside.

Knowing her, next year, 300 will attend.

That’s a doer.

“I would like to offer a belated thanks to Mr. Cohaney for answering my question about the ‘paid for’ verbiage on campaign signs.

“I asked, he answered and cited his source!

“That brings me to Shep.

“I ask Shep questions and the answers never seem to get printed.

“Shep, please share with us how you know the DEP wants to bypass the function of the Watson Dike.

“No offense, but if you are the only one that knows how, Greenwich is going to drown.

“You have accomplished no more than anyone else on the dike to date.

“Also, your personal attacks of Greenwich politicians is unfair.

“If they are indeed doing something unethical, spell it out.

“Otherwise, please stop making it personal.

“No one benefits from Greenwich going under.

“When you refer to your Marine Corps training, what does that mean?

“I know Marines that I respect and go to for advice, and I know Marines that I do not respect or go to for anything.

“Barking loud doesn't mean anything.

“Stop attacking the politicians in little Greenwich when you apparently have the fish ladder on your conscience.

‘Lastly, each time you mention the houses for sale in Greenwich, you sound increasingly ignorant.

“You literally do not know what you are talking about and Jack is lazy for letting you continue to write it.

“I am rebuking you for fear that some young person believes what you say.

“You are right about the dikes, but your tactics could not be worse.

“Try something different, or perhaps stop trying at all?

“Sorry.’’
